Based on the Marvel comic book series, the story centers on Peter Quill (Pratt) a.k.a. Star-Lord, a U.S. pilot who ends up in space in the middle of a universal conflict and goes on the run with futuristic ex-cons: Drax The Destroyer (Bautista) a knife-wielding green warrior, Gamora (Saldana) an alien assassin, Groot (Diesel) a giant fighting tree and Rocket Racoon (Cooper) a genetically engineered gunslinger — who have something everyone wants.

Guardians of the Galaxy will open in 2D and 3D theaters on August 1, 2014.
